No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) was published by Johns Hopkins University,New York University (NYU), in United States of America, in October 2022. The organisation is categorised as academia,Academia.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

What went into building it

The training set ran to roughly 102,000,000 tokens.

Answers

Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) — common questions

01

Is Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) open source?

No. Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) have?

Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) has 182M parameters. Table 3. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

03

Who created Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M)?

Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) was published by Johns Hopkins University,New York University (NYU), based in United States of America, categorised as academia,Academia.

04

When was Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) released?

Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) was published in October 2022. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

05

What is Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) used for?

Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

What GPU do I need to run Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M)?

None. Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
